The main problem is the army or security forces. That is the first thing these governments do left, center or right, bribe the army and police with lots of money and then they have them in their pockets. Do you ever wonder about why the security forces always side with the dictator, despite the fact that who really pays for them is the populace?
I think the first step towards a better life in most countries is a decrease in security spending, eliminate the army and have a civilian led police. Who is going to fight against criminals then? Are you nuts, these guys are the criminals.

Update from the streets of Nicaragua
Yes, rule by force is the disease, who and how are symptoms.
Until folks stop accepting bullies in their culture, this is what we get.
Ask some people and they are quick to pull out a rule book and be the judge.
That isn't the problem.
The problem comes with the 'off with their heads' part.
We've got to learn to get along in a world ran by folks made wealthy by us not cooperating.
Mexico seems to have it better.
No way does this end without blood if it happened in the united snakes.

In my state the doughnut eaters have egos the size of texas.
Their little manhoods wouldnt allow themselves to be disarmed.
Not to mention their license to kill 'when in fear for their safety'.
Our cops have been off their chains since they formed as slave patrols, but good luck getting a dupe to see it.
Let me know if the story gets it wrong, eh?

I don't think that is true, in Honduras we can lawfully own 5 weapons and a lot of people do, guns are a very defining part of manhood around here. Still doesn't do much good against police and army who have armoured vehicles, machine guns, bazookas, helicopters, planes, training (in part received from US), tear gas and are also brainwashed.

Jeez, that sounds hopeless.
Who is sending their sons to serve?
My dad sent me but it wasn't long before graffiti on a wall in Frankfurt opened my eyes to freedom.
My dad died with anger as his only tool, too.
Until rule by force is rejected as an option nothing changes.

Jobless rate in Honduras is over 40% joining the army or the police is a way out.

The people all have to eat, what do most of them do?
Build houses, carpentry/metal work, car repair, store keeper, taxi driver, washing taxis, I'm running out here.
I always wondered how these others were eating, but didn't know the language well enough to ask.
Is it possible to come there and open a business that survives?

Well, for one a lot of people receive money from family who has emigrated mostly to the US, others of course steal or engage in other criminal enterprises, also we are a drug trafficking bridge so that leaves a lot of money. That does not mean you can't set up a business, with luck you could even have a very successful one. Yes, there are all the jobs you mention above just that there is more offer than demand.

I don't have to, you just have to visit Costa Rica and you will see what is possible. It isn't perfect but it is one hell of a lot better than anything else on this continent including the USA.

Actually Costa Rica was just like the other Central American nations until they got rid of the army. As for covert ops, of course that could be true also but being they are covert my info is limited.

But if Costa Rica can do it, I think it means any country can do it, they just have to have the will.

I know what happened in Costa Rica in 1948 the people were about through with the government they had then and some people decided enough was enough a civil war ensued, one of the leaders was Pepe Figueres, after winning they came to the decision that they didn't need an army and they just abolished the dumb thing, and used the money for health and education. Can you not see that the armies of the world regardless of where they are from are just in it for the benefit of the top commanders? See if they were really there to back people they would do that but in reality they back whoever is more economically convenient for them. Cases in point Honduras and Venezuela, here you can see that patriotism, love of country, discipline honor has nothing at all to do with their actions, they were just bought, thinking it through this is about what happens everywhere.
By the way did you ever hear about Eisenhower and the military-industrial complex? I tend to believe it exists to the detriment of everyone else.
